What our guests say about us

Gospenheale Barn ist ein Traum von Ferienhaus.
Selten, eigentlich nur einmal, hatten wir ein Feriendomizil was uns annährend so gut gefallen hat wie Gospenheale Barn.
Die Beschreibung auf der Webseite hält absolut was sie verspricht. Es ist ein hervorragendes, qualitativ hochwertig, geschmackvoll ausgestattetes Cottage. Die liebevollen Details machen es zu einem gemütlichen Heim, aus dem man gar nicht mehr fortgehen möchte.

An Sauberkeit ist das Cottage nicht zu übertreffen. Im Schlaf- und Badezimmer war der Steinfußboden mit Fußbodenheizung sehr angenehm und hygienisch. Der Holzboden verleiht dem Wohn- und Küchenbereich eine behagliche Atmosphäre.

Die schönen Badezimmer sind relativ groß. Durch die Mischbatterien und Duschen mit hohem Wasserdruck konnte unser kontinentales Vorurteil gegen britische Badezimmereinrichtungen ganz und gar nicht bestätigen. ;-)

Die große, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche bietet wirklich alles, was man sich beim Kochen wünscht. Mehr als ausreichende Anzahl an Kochtöpfen, sehr viel Geschirr und Besteck, Gläsern, Messern, Schere, Handmixer, Waage, Frischhalte-dosen, sogar ein Gefrierschrank (doch eher selten in einer Ferienwohnung) ist vorhanden.

Das Cottage ist hervorragend geeignet für 5 Personen und bietet auch für Familien mit Kindern viel Platz. Viele Spiele und Spielsachen sind vorhanden (u.a. große Kisten mit Duplo Lego und K-nex, Kinder-Traktor, Bobbycar und Swingball). An dieser Stelle möchten wir unbedingt Bob, den Hund, erwähnen. Unsere Kinder haben ihn sofort ins Herz geschlossen. Jetzt möchten die beiden auch gerne einen Hund haben, mit dem man so gut Spielen kann und der Frisbees aus der Luft fängt.

Die Lage ist optimal um den Norden Cornwalls zu erkunden und dank der vielen Wander- und Fahrradkarten, den Wander- und Radtourenbeschreibungen und allgemeinen Tipps für die Umgebung findet man für jeden Tag ein neues Ausflugsziel.

Last but not least, wollen wir Bridget und David ein großes Lob aussprechen.
Ihr habt mit der Ausbau des alten Stalls ein erstklassiges Cottage geschaffen. Durch die herzliche Begrüßung und die bereitgestellten lokalen Aufmerksamkeiten fühlten wir uns nach der langen Anfahrt sofort freundschaftlich willkommen. Die vielen Gespräche mit Euch und Davids Eltern haben uns viel Freude gemacht.
Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub in Gospenheale und wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

The Barn was very clean and had everything you could possibly need. Even though it was cold outside the Barn was warm with underfloor heating to warm up the traditional slate floor. Even my 14 yr old was impressed by the sensitive way the barn has kept its traditional features but is still modern. Having Bob waiting outside to play was great. The highlight for my 9 yr old twins was David's walk on new yrs eve to look for foxes in the dark! Thank-you so much for a lovely time - hope to see you again very soon!

Wonderful relaxing break. Very nice family accomodation with entertainment for young children. Lots for families to do within a short drive. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful week, 16h May 2010, the weather was very kind to us only 1 slightly wet day. This was our second stay at Gospenheale Barn and it was just as memorable as the first 2 years previously. The barn is of a very high standard and extremely well equipped. The touch this year of supplying freshly baked scones upon our arrival were welcome after such a long drive. David and family are so thoughtful and friendly that you feel like old friends not guests. You are in a very central location to be able to visit Devon or Cornwall. The tranquillity of the surrounding area is just wonderful helping you to relax and unwind, especially as this holiday was also honeymoon for our daughter who married the Saturday, and we arrived the Sunday.
We are booking again next year but for 2 weeks and alone to truly have a much needed break.

What a lovely place to spend a weeks holiday!! The barn has been beautifully converted and the accommodation is superb. Plenty of space and lots of thoughtful touches really make this place stand out. The home made cookies and fresh flowers when we arrived were much appreciated. We had fun with Bob the dog and enjoyed our chats with Bridget, David and their parents Mr & Mrs Pett next door. We had so many great places to visit on our doorstep that it was difficult to choose where to go each day. The barn is only a 5 minute drive from Launceston so its easy to stock up on food and petrol during your stay. We shall definitely put this barn high up on our list of places to stay when we return to the West Country in the future.

We spent a wonderful Christmas week at Gospenheale Barn, having returned for a Christmas holiday from Singapore to be with my Mum and our daughter. It was wonderfully cosy and warm, the character of the barn lent itself to our Christmas decorations and it was really homely. We were able to invite friends in for meals and drinks or go out for easy walks around the fields and even went to the nativity play at the local Methodist chapel on Christmas Eve, with true Cornish hospitality afterwards. Boxing day found us on the North coast at Boscastle in brilliant sunshine.
We thank you for your hospitality and friendship. The stay was especially poignant as it was Mum's last Christmas and therefore was full of very treasured memories.

We spent a memorable week over Easter at Gospenheale Barn. A warm welcome from the Petts and Bob, the dog. The Barn has been developed to provide modern and well-equipped accommodation and there was ample space for three adults, a teenager trying to revise and her active younger sister. We enjoyed our walks around the farm and along the local footpaths. With the North Cornwall beaches less than an hour away, Gospenheale is always on our shortlist for a West Country break.

Thanks for a lovely get-away- from-it-all break, delightful barn and local advice. Look forward to coming again soon! Ali & David London September 2009

A real WOW factor welcome, you've thought of everything. Great location to enjoy lots of different Cornish treats. J's really going to miss Bob the Dog. Mr & Mrs R, from Weymouth, Dorset. May 2008
